A RELIABLE AND HANDY TOOL THAT HELPS TO SERVICE SONY TVs
The TRACE interface connects to the PC's serial port.
It provides connection to the TV's I2C bus and can be provided with an Infra Red
transmitter (optional).
The interface is powered by a standard 9 V PP3 battery
for portable use, and can also be powered by an external 9V/25mA DC power supply.
The TRACE software that is supplied with the interface
allows you to:
- Read, restore and compare NVM contents via the I2C bus
- Acknowledge check of all I2C devices in the TV set
- Read Error Codes (emulation of the Error Reader tool)
With the optional IRAdd-on kit, the following features
can be added:
- Remote Commander emulation
- User programmable Functional Check through Infrared
- Fast and documented Test Mode setting of all Sony TV chassis.
Note: For workshops
already using the existing I2C Link parallel port interface (9-948-320-30),
this software can be used as well, replacing the TV Data Handling software
(9-948-340-50), but Error Reader and IR functions can only be accessed with the
TRACE interface.
